Merry Christmas to Me!!

Merry Christmas to me!!!! For a few years I have asked for a new cookbook for Christmas. This year I handled it a little differently. I opened the website on the computer and sat Gerald down in front of the screen. I said, "I want this one and this one!" They arrived yesterday in the mail. I had a blast last night looking through them. I told Gerald he could gladly wrap them up and put them under the tree but not until Christmas Eve.

I came into the living room yesterday to see Olivia's doll sitting on the couch, with a head covering (see picture below). I got the giggles as I looked at her doll. Apparently her Mennonite background is coming into effect here as she thought her doll needed a head covering. But really, panties?? As I was laughing she explained to me that they didn't fit on her bottom so she put them on her head. Now, what am I missing in my parenting my sweet daughter for her to assume that when panties don't fit we wear them on our heads? I can safely assure you that she hasn't seen that modeled in our home. In this photo you will also see Olivia's own creation of a hairdo that she calls, "The Crazy Eighties". I really have no explanation for that either.

We will close with a video of the kids coming off the slide and going over the jump. No other words are necessary.
